Changing Flat Room Lay Out

[Snickers]

I have purchased a 1 bedroom ground floor flat converted from Victorian semi-detached house.

At the moment the house has (in order of front to rear)
Entrance Hall
Living Room (14 x 12)
Bedroom 1 (12 x 11)
Dining room (12 x11)
Kitchen (11 x 6)
Lobby
Bathroom and WC

In order to maxiumise income and layout i want to make into a 2 bedroom flat.
To do this i would:

Convert dining room into kitchen
kitchen into bathroom
and then at the rear, knock lobby into bathroom creating a 2nd bedroom.

Would this add value or potential knock value of sell on and with regards to renting flat?

I think the first step is to speak to a good local agent... they will advise on values, appropriate room sizes etc.. THEN, if you are happy with their response, have a look at the policies on conversions in the development plan on the Council's website..These two actions will help you make a more informed decision as to whether to proceed...
